How To Wear: The Long Cardigan

Cardigans are great all year round, they can be used to layer in winter, and in summer they are easy to throw on if the evenings are cooler.

The Long Cardigan in particular is a staple piece, and is right up there with the most useful pieces in our growing timeless wardrobe.

The Long Cardigan comes in all different lengths and textures (light-weight or chunky knits), and depending on what you are looking for, it can either add a very casual element to an outfit, or it can look effortlessly elegant if you wanted to dress it up.

As you can see, I have gone for a casual-chic, laid back look by pairing my ice-grey cardi with a simple long sleeved black dress and suede over-the-knee boots. This look is so easy to put together and as comfortable as it is, it still looks classy.

This same outfit, could be dressed up by swapping the flat over-the-knee boots for a hot pair of heeled over-the-knee, long or ankle boots, and adding a statement necklace.

So, the long cardigan can either add a slouchy-casual feel to an outfit, or it can act as a cape/coat and give the outfit a sophisticated finish.
